1:03 BULLSHIT: Which NFL QB do the top QB prospects most compare to in skill-set...
 

Seen these comparisons thrown around in all the QB threads. I find them entertaining to see who some of the posters think these prospective QB’s best compared to in the pros.

Example: Some see Geno’s game resemble Aaron Rodgers while others see his game resemble…RG3? Tyler Wilson is suppose to be Cutler or Rivers…. And so on.

I just wanted to get them all in one thread…and you draft gurus…go beyond Smith and Wilson. Who does Manuel, Bray, Glennon, etc. all resemble?

Are any of these guys going to be the next Flacco…? He has turned into a decent QB. :p

Geno: a mix of Rodgers and McNabb
Barkley: Matt Ryan
Wilson: Rivers

I think that is pretty generous.

Glennon: Flacco
Manuel: Culpepper
Bray: Jeff George

SOLD! :thumb:

If anyone had anything close to George's physical tools, they'd be a slam dunk for #1.

Billion dollar arm, but a ten cent brain.

I think it's pretty accurate.

Don't forget, Matt Ryan had similar concerns coming out of BC..threw 19 picks as a senior and looked to "already be at his ceiling".

I think the comparison is valid.

Kind of describes Bray...

Geno = Ted White
Wilson = Steve Stenstrom

Half the time Glennon plays, he looks pretty damn good...the other half of the time, he looks like a 4th rounder or worse.

Terribly inconsistent.

I think his upside is Flacco.

Well, Flacco's biggest problem IS his inconsistency.

Ill take inconsistency that bad any day.

No shit!

How does he interview? Does he sound as dumb as he looks...?

It's hard to understand his clucks...well, with the other ostriches flocking around him trying to get a nut.

(On a serious note, I don't really know)

One plus is that he actually is pretty damn mobile for his frame. He isn't Drew Bledsoe back there...the negative with him is that things fall apart under pressure with him, where Flacco seems to be cool as a cucumber under duress.

I agree.

He's a very hot/cold player, but when he's good he's damn good.

I'll take a shot at it.

Matt Barkley: Andy Dalton
Geno Smith: Warron Moon (But a pinch more athletic? Struggling to come up with something)
Mike Glennon: Joe Flacco
Tyler Bray: Jeff George (couldn't agree with this one more)
EJ Manual: Dante Culpepper (easy comparison)
Tyler Wilson: Aaron Rogers (but with a slightly less arm.)

FYI (hate that all my comparisons are white player resembles white guy. Black player resembles black guy. Not my intention)

Geno Smith is white?

Warren Moon is?

Beat you schmucks to this one months ago - My list in early October and new thoughts:

Like the Wilson to Romo comparison. Think that's pretty strong.

I struggle with the Geno to Aaron comparisons. Both fairly athletic but I think Aaron runs much more and has a much stronger arm. But to be fair, few people do have as such of an arm.

What about....JORDAN Rodgers? :D

OOOOOHHHH I love the Wilson to Romo comps.


Of course I'm probably a bigger Romo fan that most on here, but if Wilson turned out to be that minus the choker stuff, sign me up.

The Glennon/Flacco comparisons are based on both being tall with big arms and that's it.

Flacco completed 63.5 percent of his passes in two seasons at Delaware...Glennon is at 57 percent...

Someone dipshit team is gonna draft Glennon around 20.

Glennon = poop

Glennon is a lot like Matt Ryan, except he has a stronger arm.

That's only slightly racist, and in a 70 year old grandpa kinda way. You get a pass.

Tyler Wilson: a better Kevin Kolb
Glennon: Dan Orlovsky
Geno Smith: Matt Ryan
EJ Manuel: Jared Lorenzen
Tyler Bray: David Carr
Landry Jones: Brodie Croyle
Matt Barkley: Matt Hasselbeck

In terms of mobility, I really do like the McNabb comparison for Geno Smith. McNabb was a QB who had that ability to scramble, but was always kind of a bit clunky when he did it. Everybody recognized that McNabb would have to be a great pro QB with his arm, and not his legs, though there were still idiot football commentators that said, "I don't know if a running QB like McNabb can win a Super Bowl in the NFL."

It doesn't hurt that he had the arm talent but came from a wide spread system, and that he was drafted by Andy Reid. :D

Here's a comparison I like if Geno doesn't reach his full potential but also doesn't bomb out of the NFL: Matt Schaub. I assume not reaching his full potential would mean he never got control of his lower body as he drives throws, giving him only adequate arm strength. In the NFL, that will get you pretty far, but it will also not allow you to perceive what's around you in the pocket and step up when you need to. Schaub's problem is also that he just can't hit those timely completions the right way when he needs to make them. I can see Geno being that type of passer if things don't go as planned.

In the same system with the same coach.

Matt Ryan Senior Year

4,507 yards,31 TD's, 19 INT's, 59% completion percentage and 6.9 yards average

Mike Glennon Senior Year

4,301 yards, 31 TD's 17 INT's, 58.5% completion percentage and 7.15 yards average

Amazing how similar they are.

Yeah but Matt Ryan did it playing for Boston College.

Glennon did it at freaking NC State.

NC State is a suckass school with no talent on offense at all outside of the QB.

How would you rank arm strength in this class?

I think we all agree that Bray would be one...then who would your next 3 be?

If that happens, he's a less douchy Phillip Rivers.

I have no idea what distinction you're trying to draw here.

If anything it would've been easier for Ryan at BC.

I don't agree with the comparison, but it's an intriguing set of statistics for sure.

or, he's just another ccok suckker, same cloth different roll..

IMO, it's Bray Glennon then everyone else.

I don't see the Barkley/Ryan comparison. One of the key problems with Barkley is his size. If he's 6'2 at the combine it's because they haven't made him take his heels off yet. I'd probably say he's probably closer to Drew Brees, for that reason. Not that I expect him to play like Brees as a pro. But then again I didn't expect Brees to play like he has, either.

I see Rodgers and RG3 as ultimately the same kind of QB, and I think it would be valid to compare Geno to either/both.

Bray is half George, half Sanchez.

Wilson is more Rivers than Cutler, I think.

Glennon is Osweiler 2.0. Which would be why I've called him Brock Glennon for months.

I've never been this excited about a draft, I might actually go to the combine this year and watch some men run around in underwear.

FYP

For those of you keeping score at home. That means "Fixed Your Post"

Nassib?

Barkley was on the Herd a week or so ago and Colin said he is 6' 1-1/2" and that Barkley was clearly taller than him.

From the Barkley thread:

Romo's probably an okay comparison due to their similar release (speed) and ability to move within the pocket. I think Romo's probably a little heavier.

Geno is like Culpepper, Moon, Vick, McNabb, "Chicken Shit Salad" Printers, Garrard, Leftwich, Russell, and about 3/4 similar to Freeman.
